The '''Cosmogenesis of [[Lusternia]]''' is, like many creation myths, the story of how a balance between creation and destruction eventually leads to a world filled with beings that reflect the imagination and creation of its creators - and the story of how Lusternia came into existence begins with [[Yudhe]].

From Yudhe, Dynara inherited Yudhe's desire to create, and so she created many things, the first of which was [[Lusternia]], also called the First World. Around Lusternia, Dynara formed countless more worlds and planes of existence and so filled the universe of Yudhe with an endless stream of things. Her older sister, Magnora, inherited only the emptiness of void, and her purpose was to consume all that her sister created, bringing it back to nothing. And for eons, Dynara created and Magnora destroyed, and so the sisters were in harmony, a cycle of being and not being, of creation and destruction, of life and death.

Upon the worlds and planes that Dynara created, she also created life. Her first attempts to create life were monstrous abominations without a soul or spirit. Though at first she considered them to be her greatest triumphs, she came to view them as her greatest failures. They came to be called the Primal Gods or First Ones, also known as the [[Soulless|Soulless Gods]]. Disappointed, Dynara sent these Soulless Gods to her sister Magnora for her to consume back to no-thing. But Magnora, bitter and barren, allowed them to live out of spite. Thus, the Soulless Gods became the Heralds of Magnora, traveling with her and helping her destroy and consume that which Dynara had abandoned or forgot.

Yudhe grew tired, and begot a son, who was a reflection of Yudhe himself, containing Yudhe's very spirit. This son was without name and form, limited in omniscience yet full of potency. The son of Yudhe went first to his sister Dynara, and through him, she understood how to create life with soul, and so together they created life from shards of their own consciousness. She and her nameless brother grouped them this way and that way, and played with them as children play with their toys. Jealous and acting in her own nature, Magnora and her heralds sought out and devoured that life. But Dynara and the nameless son saved those life forms that became their favorites, and these became known as the [[Elder Gods]], and they were many. Thus came to be the Dragon God [[Dracnoris]], [[Clangorum]] of the Mountains, [[Elfenhoala]] the Fair, [[Aslarn]] the Quick, [[Meridian]] the Wise, [[Orlachmar]] the Strong, [[Trillillial]] of the Skies, [[Bollikin]] the Playful, and many others.

But the nameless son could not go back to nothingness for he was as nothing as Yudhe. Yet, when Magnora devoured him, he impossibly disappeared from reality. Without his spirit who was his son, Yudhe roused from his complacent dreaming and thus knew despair. And so too did Magnora and Dynara despair, for they were much a part of Yudhe.

Together the sisters found a purpose, and that purpose was to find the only begotten son of Yudhe. For eons they searched, their goals united for the first time. Finally, they became aware of a tear within the fabric of reality through which the nameless son had entered. But to their sorrow, they learned the Son of Yudhe was destroyed in this alternate reality. But they discerned that his essence remained, scattered through a race calling themselves [[human|humans]]. And so Magnora and Dynara schemed and plotted to enter this alternate reality and unite it with Yudhe, thus bringing progenitor and son back together.
